The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Habana" by Florent Pagny.
Lyrics
De papel o de ceniza, como un cuento del abuelo,
Descubrí bajo el sombrero, una tarde su sonrisa.
A nadie se parecía, al menos en la mirada.
Jovencita de mil ganas y otras miles prohibidas.
Y nos fuimos caminando entre risas y alborotos,
Y a su lado fui sonando entre sorpresas y rotos.
Habana que espera sentada en el balcón a que suba la marea.
Habana tranquila, bañándose en el mar la luna siempre te mira. Y yo.
Me dijeron tantas cosas, de buenos y de villanos.
Pero al hablarte con las manos se te enredan las razones
Y luego la mente flota.
Dicen que tiene un amante pero prefiere estar sola.
Tiene una luz que enamora y un dolor en el semblante.
Y volvimos caminando bien borrachos de alegría
Pero no se todavía si ya fue, o está pasando.
Habana se enciende, jugando a enamorar, jugando a ser diferente.
Habana desnuda, pasiones de un lugar donde la vida se fuma.
Si la vas a enamorar, siente.
Si la quieres olvidar, no te enamores.
Y si llegas a besar, terminas aprendiendo a respetar su suerte.
Habana cansada de volver a empezar y de que no pase nada.
Habana de noche, la magia de rodar donde todos de conocen.
Habana perdida, de música y de mar, pasiones y mentiras.
Habana se enciende, jugando a enamorar, jugando a ser diferente.
Habana desnuda, pasiones de un lugar donde la vida se fuma, se fuma.
Donde la vida se fuma
Habana.
Lyrics translation
Paper or ash, like a grandfather's tale,
I discovered under the hat, one afternoon his smile.
No one looked like him, at least in the look.
Young lady of a thousand desires and other thousands forbidden.
And we walked among laughter and turmoil,
And next to him I went ringing between surprises and broken.
Havana waiting sitting on the balcony for the tide to rise.
Quiet Havana, bathing in the sea the moon always looks at you. And me.
They told me so many things, good and bad.
But when you talk with your hands, your reasons get tangled
And then the mind floats.
They say she has a lover but she prefers to be alone.
She has a light that falls in love and a pain in her countenance.
And we walked back drunk with joy
But I don't know yet if it was already, or it's happening.
Havana lights up, playing to fall in love, playing to be different.
Havana naked, passions of a place where life smokes.
If you're gonna love her, feel it.
If you want to forget her, Don't fall in love.
And if you ever kiss, you end up learning to respect their luck.
Havana tired of starting over and nothing happens.
Havana at night, the magic of shooting where everyone knows.
Havana lost, music and sea, passions and lies.
Havana lights up, playing to fall in love, playing to be different.
Havana naked, passions of a place where life smokes, smokes.
Where life smokes
Havana.
